XOXO wants to romance you with this feminine and fun Beau tote.
This purse reminds me of the label’s Name Drop clutch, but on a much larger scale. It’s not just the size that gives it its point of difference, but a soft bow on the side. The accent could have been overly feminine, but it’s tempered here by the use of black vinyl.
Looking at the Beau it’s pretty easy to see XOXO has used vinyl, rather than real leather, which is a bit of a disappointment. At nearly $70 this tote isn’t overly expensive, but I’ve seen more convincing leather alternatives at this price point.
The Beau’s generous size is both a blessing and a curse. Of course it allows us to carry everything we need to make it through the day. The open and zippered pockets are up to the task of keeping all those items in order too. But while the interior isn’t lacking, the handle isn’t up to the task. While the cut-out design is very fashionable, this tote is bound to be awkward to carry once it’s full. A removable cross-body strap would have easily solved the problem.
This Beau tote isn’t perfect, but at $69.99 it does enough to tempt frugal fashionistas.
